SPECIFICATION forming' part 0f Letters Patent NO. 592,493, dated October26, 1897. Application filed May 12, 1897. ISerial No. 636,155. (Nomodel.)

To aZZ whom. it may concern:

Beit known that I, FREDRICK W. KLINGER, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fish-Hook Books, whichimprovement is fully set forth in the following specification andaccompanying drawings.

My invention consists of an improved construction of fish-hool book inwhich novel means are employed for holding in position the snoods of thehooks as Well as the flies carried therein.

It further consists of novel details of construction, all as will behereinafter set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the sh-hook bool; embodying myinvention, the same being shown in open position. Fig. 2 represents asection on line a: Fig. 1, shoW- ing the novel means employed forholding the hooks and flies in position. Fig. 3 represents a sectiononline y y, Fig. 1, showing the means employed for holding the snoods inposition.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in thefigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a fish-hook book, the saineconsisting of the leaves or members B C, which are preferablyconstructed of vegetable ivory or some similar material which is notreadily aected by moisture, said members being secured to each other bya flexible strip or strips D.

E designates strips, preferably of metal, Which are attached to theupper and lower edges of each leaf on either side thereof, andas themanner of attaching each pair of said strips is substantially the same adescription of one pair will suffice for all, reference being had to theupper left-hand strip seen in Fig. 1, the counter-strip on the oppositeside being indicated at G in Fig. 2. The strip E is provided With a spurF, Which is passed through the leaf B and clenched on the opposite sideupon the strip Gr, while the latter is provided with a spur II, which ispassed through the leaf B and clenched upon the strip E, as will beevident from the left-hand portion of Fig. 2.

.I designates humped or bent projecting lips which are attached to thestrips E and G, respectively, said lips being bent so as to form apartial eye J', which is adapted to be engaged by the hooks K', saidlips having the deflected member K projecting therefrom.

The leaf B intermediate of its ends has attached thereto on either sidethe strips L and N, made of metal or similar material, the strip L beingprovided with the spur M, which is passed through the leaf B andclenched upon the strip M, as will be evident from Fig. 3, said strip Nhaving the spur P, which passes through the leaf B and is clenched uponthe strip L, as will be understood from Fig. 1.

R designates cut-out portions of the strips L and N, the same having thebent lips S, which serve to engage the snoods T of the hooks K.

The leaf O is provided With strips E on either side thereof at its upperand lower portion, which are secured in substantially the same manneralready described, While intermediate said strips are located thestaples or similar devices U, which have their ends passed through theextremities of a flattened coil of Wire W, said ends being clenched atV, Whereby said Wire is firmly held in position, said Wire coil forminga convenient means for holding the snoods T in position.

It Will be seen from the foregoing that four sets of attaching devicesare employed, one on either side of each of the leaves B and C, wherebyevery portion of the surface of the book is utilized and by my novelmeans for fastening the same great durability and efficiency areobtained.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is s 1. In a iish-hook book, a leaf having onopposite sides thereof hook-retaining strips, each of which is providedat one of its ends with an integral spur passing thro ugh said leaf andclenching upon the strip on the opposite side.

2. A fish-hook book consisting of a leaf having on the upper and lowerportions thereof, the strips E and G, the strip E having a spur Fprojecting therefrom and passed through said leaf and clenched upon thestrip E, each of Vsaid strips having the lip .I projecting therefrom,said lip being humped so as to form an eye for the engagement of afish-hook.

3. A fish-hook book having a lea-f thereof IOO b Y i .,T

provided with devices for holding hooks in position at either endthereof, in 'combination with an intermediate device for holding thesnoods of said hooks in position, said intermediate device consisting ofthe strips L and N, the strip L having aspur M passed through p saidleaf an-dclenched on the strip N, While the latter has spurs Q and Ppassing through said leaf and clenched on the strip L, both said stripsL and N having the cut-out porv tions R and the bent lips S for holdingsaid snoods in position.

4. A iish-hook book having a leaf with FREDRICK W. KLIN GER.
